SER BILINGÜE PREVIENE LA DEMENCIA

Una nueva investigación, publicada en 'Trends in Cognitive Sciences', explica cómo el hecho de hablar más de un idioma se puede traducir en una mejor salud mental. 


El estudio examina cómo el ser bilingüe puede ofrecer protección contra los síntomas de la demencia y, además, sugiere que la creciente diversidad en las poblaciones del mundo puede tener un impacto positivo, e inesperado, en la capacidad de recuperación del cerebro adulto. "Estudios anteriores han establecido que el bilingüismo tiene un efecto beneficioso en el desarrollo cognitivo de los niños", explica la autora principal del estudio, la doctora Ellen Bialystok, de la Universidad de York, quien añade que, "en este estudio, revisamos los informes recientes, que utilizan tanto métodos conductuales, como de neuroimagen, para examinar los efectos del bilingüismo sobre la cognición en adultos".

LEYMAH GBOWEE

PEACE JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS 1

Mighty Be Our Powers - How sisterhood, prayer and sex changes a nation at war.

A champion of women's empowerment around the world, Leymah Gbowee is an African peace activist often credited with aiding the cessation of the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003 through her extraordinary women-led peace movement. Currently the Executive Director of the Women Peace and Security Network Africa, Gbowee's work was the subject of the 2008 award-winning documentary Pray the Devil Back to Hell, which has been used as a tool to mobilize African women to petition for peace and security.
En la parte inferior derecha del video intenta, primero en VER EN YOUTUBE y luego haciendo click en el boton rojo CC, que se abran los subtitulos que facilitiran la comprensión. (aunque al ser un sistema automatico de reconocimiento de voz tiene numerosos errores).

Highlighting the degree to which the legal system frees the powerful from accountability while harshly treating the powerless, Greenwald describes the origins of the current system, its repudiation of American ideals, and the mechanisms which sustain it.
In October 2007, the Women's Leadership Board at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government honored Ms. Gbowee with the Blue Ribbon Peace Award for her significant contribution to peace-building. Two days after this talk was recorded, Gbowee became the co-recipient of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize.

NOS CUESTA MUCHO APRENDER INGLES

Afectos en la noche - Segunda hora - 10/02/12
10 feb 2012







A más de la mitad de los españoles nos cuesta mucho aprender inglés. No lo hacemos porque preferimos expresarnos en nuestro idioma y porque nos da vergüenza. Somos uno de los países más reticentes a aprender un segundo idioma. Incluso los extranjeros dicen que aquí nadie se esfuerza por aprender su idioma.

GLENN GREENWALD

CONVERSATIONS WITH HISTORY 14

How the Law Is Used to Destroy Equality and Protect the Powerful


Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes author Glenn Greenwald for a discussion of his new book, "With Liberty and Justice for Some." Greenwald traces his intellectual odyssey; analyzes the relationship between principle, power, and law; and describes the erosion of the rule of law in the United States.

Highlighting the degree to which the legal system frees the powerful from accountability while harshly treating the powerless, Greenwald describes the origins of the current system, its repudiation of American ideals, and the mechanisms which sustain it.

He then analyzes the media's abdication of its role as watchdog role. He concludes with a survey of the the record of the Obama administration in fulfilling its mandate, argues for an alternative politics, and offers advice for students as they prepare for the future.

MONSERRAT CABALLE CANTA EN INGLES

Nuestra gran cantante de opera Montserrat Caballé canto varias canciones en ingles junto con Freddy Mercury como promoción para los juegos olimpicos que se celebraron en Barc
elona en el 92.
Una de las mejores fue HOW CAN I GO ON. aunque ambos cantantes se dedicaron a tipos de música totalmente diferentes, ambos siempre dijeron admirarse mutuamente y es sabido que Fredy Mercury en su famosa canción BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, incluyo una parte de opera. El siguiente video esta subtitulado en español, pero si quereís seguir con la mirada la letra en inglés mientras la oís, esta debajo del video

When all the salt is taken from the sea
I stand dethroned
I'm naked and i bleed
but when your finger points so savagely,
is anybody there to believe in me
to hear my plea and take care of me?
How can i go on
from day to day
who can make me strong in every way
where can I be safe
where can I belong
in this great big world of sadness
how can I forget
those beautiful dreams that we shared
they're lost and they're no where to be found
how can I go on?
Sometimes i tremble in the dark
I cannot see
when people frighten me
I try to hide myself so far from the crowd
is anybody there to comfort me
lord... take care of me.
How can I go on
from day to day
who can make me strong in every way
where can I be safe
where can I belong
in this great big world of sadness
how can I forget
those beautiful dreams that we shared
they're lost and they're no where to be found
how can I go on?

Wakefield picked up his suitcase, kissed his wife, and said goodbye. "I am going into the country", he told her, "I may be away for three or four days". His wife knew his love of mystery and so, she did not ask the reason for his journey.

Wakefield gave her a sickly smile through the open door, and in a moment he was gone. He hurried along the busy street, and dissapeared among the crowd. "People are watching me", he thought. "they will see where I go and tell my wife".

He heard feet close behind, and feared that somebody was trying to catch him... A voice in the crowd called out, and he thought that it called his name...But Wakefield had no cause for fear. No eye followed him.

After several turns in different directions, he went to a lodging house in the next street. There he stayed in a small room that was already booked for him, and his journey ended.

Wakefield was a quiet little man, about fifty years old.
He seemed to be a good husband, not the sort of man to leave his wife. He soon began to feel sorry about his actions. He was lonely at his lodgings.

He asked himself why he left his wife. He supposed he had a reason but he could not remember it. Wakefield could not sleep that night. In the morning, he got up early and tried to think what to do. He wondered how his wife would manage without him. He had a sudden desire to find out.

"I will stay at the lodgings for a week and watch her", he decided. Wakefield went off. He planned to go to the end of his street and take a quick look towards his house. But, like a man in a dream, he went to the door.

The sound of his foot on the door step woke him. Wakefield!. Where are you going?. He hurried away. He was shaking with fear and breathing heavily. He did not dare to turn his head until he reached the end of the street. There he stopped and looked at his home.

He saw his wife through the front window. She was looking towards the end of the street. The brainless man feared that she noticed him. He turned and ran back to his lodgings.

After this dangerous little adventure, Wakefield thought of a safer idea.
He changed his looks. He changed the colour of his hair to red, and dressed in clothes that were unlike his usual brown suit. He looked a different man. "My wife wont recognize me now", he thought.

Wakefield´s feelings now hardened. He decided to leave his wife for longer than a week. She doesn´t miss me yet, he thought, I will wait until she´s afraid. Two of three times in the next two weeks she passed before his eyes. Each time she walked with a heavier step, her face was whiter. and she looked more worried.

In the third week, Wakefield saw a docter enter his house.
Dear woman. Will she die ?. Wakefield wondered. He was a little saddened. but he still stayed away from his wife. He made the excuse. I mustn´t worry her if she is ill. After a few weeks, his wife was quiet well again. The danger is over. She doesn ´t need me now. Wakefield said to himself.

His lodgings were only in the next street, but it now seemed a different world. This thought passed through Wakefields troubled mind.
I won´t return yet. he decided, perhaps next week. One day.

Twenty years passed. During that time Wakefield saw his home every day. He also often caught sight of his sad wife. Misses Wakefield heard no news of her husband. She was supposed that he was dead. Then one evening, Wakefield, now old and bent, went for his usual walk towards his old home.

It was a wet night in Autumn and a strong wind was blowing. Wakefield stopped near his house. Through the windows of the sitting room he saw the red light of a warm fire. The shadow of good Misses Wakefield was dancing on the wall. At that moment, the wind blew the rain into Wakefields face. He was wet through to the skin and very cold.

Don´t stand in the street, man, Go inside. Wakefield said to himself. There is a good fire to warm you. and your wife will get some dry clothes for you. Wakefields tired old legs slowly climbed the steps.He entered the house like a man who has been away only for the day. He gave his wife a little smile and closed the door.
